Better yet, put up scales and weight charts at all fast food places and grocery stores. At check out the cashier can weigh the customer and if the BMI is too high, refuse to sell the outlawed food to them. I can hear it now..."lane 6 needs 1 pound of celery and 1 pound soy bean meal"...then the cashier merely snatches the brownie mix or french fries away and replaces them with the healthy item. Wonder how long it would take for the lawsuits to start based on "they said I was too fat and embarrassed me!"

Fast food joints can have a nice sign outside reading, "You must weigh less than XXX to buy a Whopper." The skinnies could stand outside and offer to make the illicit purchases for a small tip.

It sounds like you've got a plan to me! Though they would be taken to court for discrimination against fat people, and the SCOTUS would vote it down 6-3 based on the fact that the weight restriction is too explicit, and would need to be more nebulous, citing some nonsense about critical "mass" and public interest. KFC would be OK, by 5-4, because they only state that your height needs to exceed your weight, and other things, such as shoe size, would be taken into account. I'm one skinny that would be in on that black market.
